About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Healthier Places team. We are looking for a Graduate Engineer, to support in the delivery of our innovative programme of people-focused street and route design.

As a transport charity, the focus of the work will be the integration of Engineering and Placemaking as an integral part of Active Travel infrastructure projects.

About you

You should have a degree in Civil Engineering, Traffic/Highways Engineering, or other degree related to engineering design within the built environment (or other equivalent experience).

You will have a knowledge of inclusive design: understanding the relationship between streets and social justice and an ability to develop creative design engagement exercises suitable for a variety of audiences including school children.

Competence in using design software and the production of technical drawings using CAD. 

You will be skilled in demonstrating openness, inclusiveness, sensitivity and the ability to interact respectfully with all people and understand individuals’ differences.

Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.

In return we can offer true hybrid working to suit individual circumstances and a flexible, supportive, and rewarding working environment.
